Forza Motorsport 3 Xbox 360 Racing Simulator

The perfect rig for me to get into simulator racing.

A really nice start to my racing simulator. Pricey, but justified by quality.

Sturdy built, Easy to setup with xbox and use with MS Flight simulator.

I've been racing Forza Motorsports for years. Having had the Thrustmaster 458Italia (sub $100) wheel, the TMX, and now the TS-XW, I can say with absolute certainty that this is the finest wheel Thrustmaster makes. Many friends use Fanatec as well as Logitech wheels. However, the compromise with those seems to be in price or feel. With a lot of research and some trial and error of the other wheels, I decided to take a flyer on the TS-XW simply based upon price and specs. I was not disappointed. The brushless motor offered more than twice the torque while racing. I had to start turning my highly tuned specs down by about 30%. The road feel is good, and it's very easy to feel when a car is pushing the front wheels. Some will say they can feel "cog". You can definitely feel the belt teeth ever so slightly. However, it was never enough that I felt it interrupted my racing experience. I have around 30 hours already on the wheel and fade doesn't seem to come into play. The external power supply as well as the more efficient fan keeps temperatures down even into the 3rd hour of racing. If there is a down side to this wheel, it's that you'll love it so much you'll wear the wheel itself out. The suede is delicate just like that of a real race car. If this worries you, definitely buy some inexpensive gloves. I, however, was not worried. With the "ecosystem" setup, the wheel itself is easy to replace if it becomes too worn. It feels so nice in my hands that I actually feel bad about how poorly my project car's steering wheel feels now. Lastly, you'll want to install the conical brake mod. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen for this style of pedals. It helps with feel and realism on a level that has to be experienced. For the money, it's extremely hard not to give this wheel 5 stars. Even the suede wear issues are typical of real racing car steering wheels. If you have a chance... get it. See you in the hopper in Forza Motorsports.

My kids play Forza and other racing video games using this wheel. This is as good as it gets. Highly recommended.

I have a racing simulator and run iRacing from my gaming laptop but my HDMI cables were too short to get the laptop in the right position so that I can access it while in the simulator. This cable is perfect and very fast. It's shielded nicely and built well and I highly recommend it! [i received this product in exchange for my honest opinion]

Adds a new level of interactivity to racing and driving games that greatly enhances immersion and enjoyment. I have driven automatic cars my whole life, but for playing racing games or Truck Simulator I really like having the added control and activity that manually switching gears provides. Feel more like a racer or a trucker. Quality is great, feels heavy and solid and mostly metal. Mounted perfectly to my wheelstand pro with RGS upgrade. Quality and functionality-wise I've had no issues with this shifter, it recognized automatically in Forza Horizon 5 without any configuration at all, and was very easy to configure in Truck Simulator with an SKRS truck shifter knob on it. You do need to install a software driver when you first set it up in order for it to work correctly, but it's very simple setup. It is expensive for what it is, but I don't regret the purchase at all because of how much it has changed the way I play pretty much any driving/racing game. After getting this, my setup feels complete. Just a note on the seller: I never ordered anything from B&H before but I was impressed with the quick order processing and shipping. I ordered the product later in the evening of Dec. 12, and received the product morning of Dec. 15. Good experience, I'd buy from B&H again.

This is perfect if you want to use a monitor with a racing simulator setup (as in a chair setup you wheel over to your desk), but also wish to use it at your desk like a normal display. The reach and steadiness of the arm is beyond reproach: even perched at an extreme angle with a DD wheel setup vibrating nonstop, this holds steady.

I upgraded from a xbox 360 controller. It took a couple days getting used to but I like it now. It's a quality controller. Way better d pad that's for sure.

I have bought this controller to replace my old Xbox 360 controller. As am using this controller on windows I cant say about my experience with game console, but I really like the way it works on windows. Please dont forget to buy xbox usb adapter for wireless experience (only for pc).
